Scientist who mostly posts about plants and my cat, Milli. Interested in art, science, weather, baking, #UglyDogs, figuring out how to use Mastodon. Former/current Tweeter.
My avatar is from a sketch I made while unemployed. My main outlet for art is baking and gardening, but I was a big fan of fiber arts before arthritis decided to make my hands temperamental.

“YOU DELETE ACCOUNT FROM WEIRD BIRB MAN? BIRBS IS STILL IN YARD THO? CROWS?”
A new animal showed up in my backyard today. At first I thought it must be a young grey squirrel. But it was very fast and dare I say confident, like it was the size it was meant to be as an adult. It moved like a chipmunk - lightning fast with pauses - except it also sat behind a planter and ate a nut. The crows also seemed a bit confused by it.
At this point, I’m pretty convinced it was actually a Douglas Squirrel, which I didn’t know anything about. Anybody agree? #Squirrel #PNW
